This weekend is chock full of egg hunts.

The Calendar | Local Experts | Summer

Welcome to the first issue of “The Friday 5” where I’ll give you a quick rundown of 5 events you should know about this weekend.

I’ve plucked each of these from Tuesday’s weekend roundup, which has 75+ family-friendly event ideas, from an amphibian night hike in Mt. Kisco to a spring fling in Ridgefield.

As always, nothing here is sponsored.

Happy planning.
